Thoughtful people cannot but re-
gard with some uneasiness the specu-
latiye fever that seems to be taking
hold Of the country.
After a long period Of dullness
there has come a change and great
activity in railroad construction and
in manufacturing interests is every
where seen. Unfortunately with this
improvement there has been develop
ed wild speculation, that unless check
ed in time, may result in great finan-
cial disaster. Stocks OF all kinds are
being doomed, and the transactions
in Wall street are enormous. In En-
gland the same thing is seen, and con-
servative authorities are warning the
public to beware of encouraging this
spirit Of ofspeculation.
The South, which in times past, has
looked upon cotton "iutures" with too
much love, for its own good, has caught
the fever OF renewed speculative ac.
tivity and has turned its attention to
gigantic operations in land. While
there is good basis for an advance in
real estate in the South and while the
new towns that are springing up SC
rapidly will doubtless become centers
OF great manufacturing and mining
interests, it will do no harm for the
press and the leaders Of the people il
that section, to sound note of warn
ing against the possible danger OF thi.
rapid rise in values, leading to un
healthy speculation that might react
with great injury to the whole South

The Appointing Power.

The Senate's repeal on the 18th
inst Of the Tenure-of-Ofice Act re-
stores to the President the right of
summary removal of Federal officers
at any time. Under the present law
suspensions only can be made during
a Congressional recess, and these must
be submitted to the Senate for ap-
proyal when it meets. Removals
could only be made while the Senate
is in session. The House will pass
the bill, probably without much dis
cussion. When it does the President
will be relieved from all restraints of
legal character from turning out Re
publican officials.
What is known as the Tenure-of-
Office Act was passed by Congress,
then overwhelmingly Republican in
both branches, as handicap on the
independent course of President John
son in removing Republicans from Of
fee and filing their places with Dem
ocrats. 1t was passed March 2, 1867.
In 1869, after Grant became Presi-
dent, most Republicans had no fur
ther use for the act, as it was not de-
signed to fit any case but Johnson's.
Then they made several attempts to
repeal it.
There was much comment on the
vote OF Mr. Sherman in the negative.
He was among the earliest advocates
OF its unconditional repeal, and is re-
corded on the stump and in Congress
against the act on the broad ground
that the only feasible motto Of politi-
cal parties in Republic is "to the vic
tor belong the spoils."

South Carolina will be coal customers
for the road, which will itself estab-
lish large coaling station al George
town on Winyaw bay where it has
fine terminal facilities with the necss-
sary sidings and buildings,
The c., G. & O., or as the boys al
ready call 1.-THE See-Saw road-by
intersecting every trunk line east Of
Cumberland mountains, will compel
those roads and their terminal sea
ports to compete for the freights it
will bring from the Ohio Valley. It
is no wonder that the business men of
both the Carolinas manifest their in
terest in this railroad, or that they are
giving to the construction company
theil warm sympathy and hearty CO.
operation-putting them in the prac-
tical form Of subscriptions to the cap
ital stock OF the railroad company to
the amount already Of one and half
million dollars. They have done this
OF their on notion, believing that
within three years this road will give
them business connections far more
extensive and valuable than what
they have had, will carry to them at
satisfactory rates the raw material for
their industries, and will enable the
manufacturers of the Ohio valley and
the northwest to compete with their
eastern rivals for the trade of those
great States on more equal terms than
they have ever had.
Charleston's merchants, whose true
courage has never been displayed to
greater advantage than during the
earthquake calamities, are looking
forward to the completion Of the road
between this city and the Ohio as the
joyful fruition of a long deferred
hope there is much more than an al
literative charm in the name of tins
railroad company, for to them it
means such an increase of inter-
changes between the three cities as
will enhance very greatly the pros
perity Of all A.C.Y.

Again the blonde.

A young woman in a Pennsylvania
town, who is described as 'one of the
bellies Of the place. - in which, howev-
er, she was fated to serve as assistant
to the Postmaster, has just been de-
tected in abstracting money from the
mails. The Tribune correspondent,
who furnishes the details Of the sad
affair, says Of the "fair young post
mistress" that "she is about twenty
years OF age, has blonde hair and blue
eyes, and her character was supposed
to be beyond reproach."
Just what connection the "blonde
hair and blue eyes" are supposed to
have with prosaic case Of stealing
letters does not appear at first sight
But when it is added that the friends
of the culprit contend that she is O
kleptomaniac," the potent charm ol
the golden hair and blue eyes-as old
as history and as strong now as in the
days Of the blonde goddesses who sci
the world by the ears in the classic
age-becomes apparent OF course, a
young woman thus richly lowered
could not commit an ordinary, vulgar
theft. Underneath the soft, blonde
hair and back Of the sunny blue eyes
the dear little brain become disorder
ed. Hence "kleptomania."
The incident serves to emphasize
anew the fortunate fate Of the plair
girls and the young women with Jus
common everyday hair and eyes. I
IS always the beautiful blondes O
handsome hrunettes" who are the vic
Tins or the heroines Of. the crimes
misfortunes and scandals that brinI
them into unpleasant notoriety. An,
thus it is that Nature yields her com
pensations.-N Y. World.
